Nigel Vogler

 Nigel Vogler

Many of you will remember Nigel Vogler, who died after a long battle with Cancer in February 2023.

His wife, Sheila has recently informed the Club the she would like to dispose of some of Nigel's boat collection to Club members, with all proceeds going to the Christie Charity, in memory of Nigel.

Nigel was an expert model builder, and all of his boats were built to a high standard.

The boats offered are now listed in the For Sale section of the site, and are well worth a look.
